Debian wireless wont connect

reaganmeister · 05-10-2011, 12:50 PM

I just installed Debian on my netbook and everything is working fine but the wireless. When I typed in the name of the network and the wep it said it failed and was probably not using dhcp. I went on with the installation and now I am not sure how to set up my wireless. I have an ASUS netbook. Thank you

Hello,

Can you indicate what wireless network card you are using? Post the output of

Code:

lspci
iwconfig
ifconfig

Kind regards,

Eric

The netbook model might help us get you an answer too. More than likely your wireless needs a proprietary firmware or driver that Debian doesn't include in the main repositories.
